Opening one year ago, Sand City Brewing company takes its name inspiration from the industrial past of Northport which used to have several active sand mines. The sand was shipped into NYC for use in producing concrete. Kevin Sihler, founder and brewmaster produces some tasty beer, many with familiar sounding names to any GoT fans.
